Only the slight difficulty comes from the constraint that we cannot "declare and then use" variables, because then the code will contain the variable name twice.

Of course, this is easily accomplished by putting everything into a comment (i.e., #unsed...) or to a string literal (%(unused...), note that normal string literals are forbidden since they use quotation marks twice).
